Green Party of Sweden

The Green Party (MP) is a green political party in Sweden that was founded on 20 September 1981. The party was founded due to popular discontent with the environmental policies of all of the major parties in Sweden, and it supported the anti-nuclear power movement. In 1988, the Green Party became the first new party to enter the Riksdag in 70 years, and it had a relatively large amount of government representation for a green party. In 2017, the party held 25/349 Riksdag seats, 4/20 European Parliament seats, 102/1,597 county council seats, and 732/12,780 municipal council seats.
